Crochet Animal Legs {Striped}

These striped crochet animal legs are quick and easy to work up. On their own they aren’t worth much…after all, they are just legs…but if you like designing your own little animals, they just might come in handy.

These crochet animal legs are the ones Anette Bak and I will be using for the Little Zoo Zebra.

Crochet Animal Legs {Striped}

Materials

4 mm Crochet Hook (US 6/G UK 8) – you can use a smaller hook if you prefer. It’s not going to make them all wonky, just smaller.

Feet

Attaching the Feet to the Legs

If you need some visual help, the instructions for the plain legs include a photo tutorial for attaching the feet to the legs.

With the right side of the foot facing you, place the foot over the large opening of the leg like a lid. Insert your hook into the next stitch of the foot and from the inside to the outside into any stitch of the last round of the leg. Make a sc through both layers. Make 11 more sc’s, working into each st of the foot and each st of the last round of the leg (so both layers). Join to the first joining sc with a sl st and bind off.

Pull your tail of yarn into the leg and use all the tails of yarn to stuff your leg with. Add stuffing until your leg is about 3/4 full, taking special care to push the stuffing all the way down into the leg; otherwise, your foot won’t be flat. I use the back of a large crochet hook to push the stuffing into the leg.
